Cause this mix is hot, like Fire, yo.

I feel vindicated in my critically panned post that giving another class an extra turn ala Time Warp would not lead anywhere savory.

Gloating at my previous prediction aside, good luck fixing overperforming cards. There are quite a few of them in constructed.

For how many supposed bots they ban I keep running into them in Wild.

I am tempted to not watch solely out of spite for their neglect of constructed. That and their horribly draconian chat rules but that is an aside.

STILL, it isn't a bad deal if you really want the packs. Just leave it running on Twitch before you go out, come back to some packs.

No mention at all that they notice or even care that Time Warp is a Tier 1 list. Again.

(shrug) I will never complain about easy packs. Pretty fun little memory game, too.

In no specific order (but alphabetized from neutrals to class cards):

• Arcane Giant - this really should be nerfed with the overabundance of spells that cost 0 and mana cheating effects / minions.
  
• e: Crystalizer - this allows Demon Seed to progress the quest too quickly with no real danger.
• Wildheart Guff - fuck this card. And fuck whoever thought letting Druid be able to double mana cap was a good idea.
• Dew Process  - with every other card that forces both players to draw, there is a condition attached. With Guff, 4 mana still isn't enough - the verbiage needs to change.
• Objection! - too strong an effect. End of justification.
• Rewind - leads to problems with the overabundance of spell-based defensive tools Mage has.
• Time Warp - this will continue to plague Wild until Team 5 realizes that targeted spell casting is part of Mage's identity. READ: CHANGE THIS TO A 1 DURABILITY LOCATION, PLEASE AND THANKS.
• Radiant Elemental - Sorcerer's Apprentice lead to broken shit with a similar statline and mana cost. Nerf when, Team 5?
• Shadowstep - cards that are printed to unconditionally cost 0 lead to broken synergies. This is no different.
• Swordfish - too much consistent damage for it's cost.
• Demon Seed - the fact you have lose your entire health value (or near) and there's still enough defensive & cycling tools for it to be viable says a lot.

but as always, that is just like, my opinion, man.

Interesting changeup to bring back the spell damage totem. Going to make it harder for Even Shaman in Wild since with it you'll blastnuke your board with Jam Session. Probably see more use of Trusty Companion over it. Also might cause a return of Odd Shaman - that archetype was gutted with the removal of spell damage on demand.

Well, that huffs that the most popular format is getting the cold shoulder.

Par for the course but it doesn't make it any less frustrating to watch the game be so horribly mismanaged.

Why?

It took me a second to realize why Mixtape was given a spell school.

Better be careful, Blizzard. The way you're managing the game, bots will soon be the only accounts you have left.

How much retiring needed to get placed in a separate pool?

Its like saying "we removed 6 gallons of water" from the ocean

Piss off blizzard, we don't need fake numbers that you tripled.

seems like the focus is in on monetizing the game with skins and bundles

Oh look, the morons that were saying the 1 mana Odyn nerf would do nothing (actually LAWL, Odyn basically dead) are now saying this won’t. 

God the general communities ability to underestimate mana cost nerfs never fails to deliver.

Quote from doingtheobvious >>

The new Raza card also opens up some doors for Singleton Aggro e: Shadow, derp Priest in Wild. It allows you to not solely rely on Shadowreaper Anduin, it means you can start putting in Reno, Lone Ranger and have the same 2 damage per card played with another board clear and more functionality.

 With the new Raza not having duplicate restrictions you could also play a non-Reno, non-Shadow deck, and use something like Embrace the Shadow and cheap healing spells to do face damage.  Not to mention the new minion that makes your hero power cost 0 when in play.

Something like the Thief Priest that Dane was playing recently but with thief cards swapped for the damage and cheap healing spells, plus at least one Embrace.  That way you can draw like crazy, discount like crazy, and then blast the opponent.

Decent brawl. Surprisingly easy too
